高盛集团利用旗下高净值客户因SpaceX创纪录的首次公开募股而获得的意外收益，提前落实了4.5亿美元的慈善支出计划。
Sachs Group Inc. used a cut of its wealthy clients’ one-time windfall on SpaceX’s record public offering to pull forward $450 million of charitable giving.
这家投行在周二发布的第三季度财报中特别提及了这笔特殊支出，并称其导致每股摊薄收益减少了约1美元。
The bank flagged the unique line in its expenses during its third-quarter earnings report Tuesday, noting that the costs reduced its diluted earnings per share by about $1.
据悉，五年前高盛便协助众多高净值客户投资埃隆·马斯克创办的这家航天企业。今年初，当SpaceX以1.77万亿美元的估值上市后，出售股票的客户们获得了巨额收益，而高盛也从中获得了数亿美元的中介佣金——这一情况早在10月份便被彭博社报道过。
Goldman had helped to arrange wealthy clients’ bets on the Elon Musk company more than five years ago. When the aerospace firm went public at a $1.77 trillion valuation earlier this year, Goldman clients who sold shares received a vast windfall and the bank received a cut worth hundreds of millions of dollars, Bloomberg News reported in October.
今年9月，高盛首席执行官大卫·所罗门便曾暗示，由于此类意外收益具备更好的税务优惠条件，银行将借此机会大幅增加慈善投入。
Goldman Chief Executive Officer David Solomon hinted at the move in September, suggesting that the bank would use the unexpected windfall to pull forward a significant amount of charitable giving because it was more tax efficient.
此次SpaceX相关交易也充分体现出高盛旗下规模逾4万亿美元的资产与财富管理业务，能为客户争取到众多尚未上市企业的投资机会。
The SpaceX deal is one example of Goldman’s more than $4 trillion asset- and wealth-management arm securing rare access for its clients to investments in companies before they’re public.
